Red Pepper Salute

This is my first painting in my new studio with my new shadow box. I want to thank Carol Marine for providing the detailed instructions to make it, and my dear hubby, Rich, for building it. By the way, my pepper was delicious on my salad and in my spaghetti sauce!

Nearing winter and the trees were dropping their leaves, a group of us artists set up to paint on location. We had hired a model and painted her on site. Then we did a photo shoot during the 'Golden Hour'. The afternoon was beautiful as the shadows played across the trees and the air was chilled.

My painting depicts this lovely young woman as she awaits patiently by the water's edge for her young man to claim her.

My passion is to draw and paint. I have drawn as long as I can remember. I have always been intrigued by faces, whether people or animals. As I have become older, the landscape has become a new challenge. I am excited by color, mood and subject. I strive to reach out to others through my art and share a little piece of my heart. We are all part of a larger community where we can learn from each other to become better artists and ultimately better human beings. Please visit me often, stay a while and share your comments.
